Chief executive Steve Jobs said the price for the mobile device will start as low as 199 dollars, half the cost of its predecessor.
“We’ve learned so much with the first iPhone. We’ve taken what we’ve learned and more and created the iPhone 3G,” Jobs said Monday as he demonstrated the new mobile device at the opening of Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco.
The iPhone 3G — for third-generation mobile networks — is designed for faster Internet download and longer talk times, and takes advantage of the high-speed network to provide GPS mapping built in, according to Jobs.
